喜樂美語
  1. 1鴿子(和平的象徵)；(美式英語) dive(跳水)的過去式

    Dove has two very different meanings. First, it's a type of bird, closely related to the pigeon, small and usually white or grey — doves are a well-known symbol of peace, often shown in art or released at ceremonies. Second, in American English, 'dove' is the past tense of the verb 'dive' — 'she dove into the pool' (in British English, people usually say 'dived' instead).
